 How to feed yeast seedlings of tomatoes and peppers?

To achieve abundant fruiting, seedlings of fruit crops are fed with various compositions and preparations. When growing tomatoes and peppers, experienced vegetable growers fertilize plants with yeast. This component has a positive effect on the immune system of the flora and contributes to the full development.

Introduction

The process of growing and caring for seedlings consists of many aspects. When cultivating a crop, proper feeding is very important. On this depends on the health of the vegetable, its development, taste, benefits and much more. There are many recipes for the preparation of useful fertilizer formulations. The yeast used by experienced agronomists in the cultivation of vegetable crops, have a number of positive qualities.

First of all - it is an organic composition. Such dressings are considered optimal and safe. Also in the composition of this product contains many beneficial components: minerals, amino acids, iron, protein and other trace elements. It is possible to safely use yeast-based mixtures without fear for the health of the household and the pet. It is easy to prepare fertilizer at home. This is a cost-effective and efficient way to achieve a rich harvest. Such a top dressing was widely spread when growing seedlings of tomatoes and sweet peppers.

Features of tomato fertilizer

Every vegetable grower knows that growing seedlings is hard work that requires some knowledge in this area. Violations in the process can cause the death of the plant. Of great importance is watering and fertilizing plants. The elements that make up the top dressing are necessary for growth, fast adaptation and resistance to diseases and pests. The first time seedlings are fertilized on the third day after transplantation to the site. Fertilizers contribute under the root of the plant.

Many gardeners are afraid to use the tools for the first time, not knowing what results can be expected. To test the effect of yeast nutrition on vegetables, you can feed a couple of shrubs. With proper use of the composition, a positive result will not keep you waiting.

Pepper feeding features

Seedlings of sweet bell pepper differs from tomatoes in capriciousness and capriciousness. Cultivating this plant is much more difficult. To fully develop, pepper needs calcium. The use of yeast fertilizers saturates the soil with such elements as nitrogen, potassium and oxygen. During the reproduction of trace elements the soil loses calcium. When growing a vegetable, the yeast feed is done only after ash or a solution based on this component has been introduced into the soil.

After fertilization, careful watering is necessary so that all useful components penetrate deep into the soil. As soon as the seedlings were transferred to the ground, they are fed on the second or third day. Fertilize plants only in warm weather, it contributes to the rapid development of trace elements in the soil. It is also necessary to irrigate using warm water.

How do fertilizers work?

This component, used to prepare top dressing, is a source of natural bacteria. Fungi, which are the basis of yeast, are rich in various trace elements. They have a positive effect on the plant during the entire period of development from the beginning of growth until the end of the fruiting season. The use of special formulations will help seedlings to endure various adverse conditions, for example, sudden changes in temperature and lack of lighting.

Due to the restructuring of the soil composition, positive changes occur that affect the plant. Unicellular bacteria under favorable conditions, multiply at high speed. Trace elements recycle organic matter around shrubs. As a result, there is a change in the composition of the soil for the better due to the development and reproduction of soil organisms. These ingredients increase fertility.

Advantages and disadvantages

Both professional agronomists and amateur gardeners distinguish the following positive aspects of yeast feeding:

  • useful elements accelerate the growth of young plants;
  • there is a significant increase in green mass;
  • with proper use of fertilizer, the root formation of a shrub increases about 5 times when compared with a normal plant, and the active development of the roots is necessary for the ovary of the fruit and the above-ground part of the vegetable;
  • after fertilization, seedlings better adapt to a new place on the open ground and better tolerate picking;
  • yeast strengthens adult shrubs, making them more resistant to the vagaries of the weather, abundant moisture, dryness.

The weak side of this type of top dressing is that the decomposition of potassium occurs during the fermentation of the product. It is easy to correct this defect - it is enough to feed the earth with wood ash. The solution can be made with the addition of yeast.

Fertilizer instructions

After 5-7 days after transplanting the plant to a permanent site (whether it is a greenhouse or an open ground), the first additional feeding with yeast is carried out. Experts say that fertilize the plant is necessary only after rooting of seedlings. The second time the composition is used before the shrubs begin to bloom. Elements in the yeast will give the plant strength for the ovary and further fruiting. It is very important to use the same recipe, which the vegetable was fertilized for the first time, with respect for proportions.

The composition of the ingredients used in the preparation of the mixture should remain unchanged. Only the volume of top dressing changes, which is introduced into the soil under the plant root. At the first feeding of young seedlings, half a liter of solution will be quite enough, the second time using about 2 liters. When preparing the mixture, it is strongly not recommended to mix the yeast with bird droppings or manure. When interacting, some elements may adversely affect the benefits and effectiveness of organic substances. To please the harvest, it is enough two fertilizer procedures for one season.

An excellent result can be achieved if watering peppers or tomatoes with beer, however, this method is very expensive. The use of ordinary baker's yeast is much more economical.

Preparation of the mixture

To prepare effective fertilizers, it is enough to spend a minimum of time and purchase inexpensive ingredients that are easy to find. Top dressing can be made from both dry and "live" yeast. Even if the yeast was not at hand, they can be replaced by adding flour products. It is an excellent plant nutrient. The most common recipe for yeast top dressing is prepared in such proportions: a kilogram of "live" yeast is taken for 5 liters of water. After preparation, the resulting composition is diluted with water in the ratio of 1: 10. Use fertilizer in a concentrated form can not.

When using dry yeast per 10 liters of liquid, 10 grams of product is used. Also mix 2 spoons of sugar. All components are thoroughly mixed, after which the composition should be infused slightly. Before use, the dressing is diluted 1: 5. If you want to stimulate the accelerated growth of seedlings of pepper, it is recommended to use the fermented mixture. For its preparation in three liters of water diluted 100 grams of the main component and half a cup of sugar. Next, the composition is covered with a cloth and leave for a period of 5 to 7 days.

Household fertilizer is diluted with water: 1 cup per 1 liter. For one shrub use a liter of composition.

Experts strongly recommend not to overfeed the plants. Excessive feeding adversely affects the fruits. Also, do not increase the recommended dosage of top dressing and the ratio of ingredients in the composition.

Add litter

Although it is not recommended to mix yeast with chicken manure, some growers use these two ingredients in the same recipe, adding additional elements.

Ingredients Required:

  • 10 liters of water;
  • half a liter of wood ash;
  • 10 grams of yeast (dry);
  • half a liter of bird droppings;
  • sugar - 5 spoons.

After mixing all the components, the concentrated product is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10, and then used for fertilizing vegetable crops. Apply this fertilizer should be carefully. At the expense of bird droppings in the composition will be quite enough to slightly moisten the soil near the bushes, without pouring the composition at the root.

Sourdough

In addition to yeast-based formulations, various starters can be used. They are ideal for enriching the land. Solutions are obtained by the fermentation process. Active reproduction of bacteria activates the growth of vegetable crops. Excellent result demonstrates wheat sourdough. One glass of cereals must be soaked and left for 24 hours. Wheat sprouts are crushed into a mush, 2 tablespoons of flour and the same amount of sugar are mixed into the mixture.

Before tillage, it is advised to hold the compound for about 25 minutes on low heat. Then the leaven is put in a warm place for about a day. It is necessary to wait for the first signs of fermentation. The concentrate is diluted in 10 liters and then used.

Bread and yeast dressing

Also the Russian trainers are actively using the following composition. For its preparation are used such ingredients:

  • wood ash (glass);
  • a pack of yeast;
  • bread crusts;
  • sour milk;
  • candied jam.

Components bred in 10 liters of hot years. The resulting composition should be infused for about seven days in a warm room for fermentation.

Reviews

Yeast top dressing has been used by Russian vegetable growers for quite some time, and therefore you can find a lot of reviews on this topic in Runet open spaces. Most agronomists speak positively of such feeding, highlighting the many advantages. It was noted that after using the fertilizer, the result becomes noticeable as soon as possible. The compositions activate the growth of seedlings, strengthen the immune system and contribute to abundant fruiting.

The availability of ingredients and ease of use are also noted. Recipes, which growers willingly share, are used both for feeding plants in open ground, and for fertilizer on the basis of greenhouses and greenhouses. Negative feedback, although in a significant minority, is present. Some are accustomed to trusting ready-made products, which are offered in a wide range of gardening shops, or other organic compounds.
